tips for young looking skin?

[NameChanger567]

Please could you tell me your best tips for youthful looking skin? I would love to make my skin look younger. so far I have been
-drinking 2-3 litres of water a day
-wearing 50+ suncream everyday
Has anyone got any more good tips for young looking skin?

[Cotswoldmama]

I like Maybelline dream urban cover it's got factor 50 spf I use it on top of proper SPF for extra protection! It's really thin and a little seems to go a long way but I do like just a light coverage. I've also noticed that max factor powder in the gold case has spf so when I run out of my current one I'll be buying that too!

Profhilo injections
Radiofrequency microneedling
SPF
Water
Sleep
Hot yoga and excercise

Good makeup

thanks can anyone recommend a foundation that is natural looking and makes your skin look youthful?
I sleep about 9 hours (go to very early), drink 2-3 litres of water a day and exercise a lot. I have thought about going to get some kind of antiaging treatment but I am scared of it going wrong

@xogossipgirlxo

Is anyone doing face massages? Would like to hear if they work

I do face yoga - the app facejoy is really good it does make a difference

I went out last night and 24/25 year olds thought I was the same age as them (I am not)

I agree tret and acids and exfoliating don't mix. I would say I have quite tolerant skin but with skin + me I got to 0.03% and found my skin started peeling and becoming more sensitive so I contacted their customer support and they replaced my doser straight away for free with a lower dose of 0.027 which has been perfect. At the start I was really excited to get a stronger and stronger strength but now I realise that this is the perfect strength for my skin and I definitely see a difference. I'm so glad I didn't go online and buy the 0.5% or 1% I found on Amazon as I think it would have burnt my skin off!

I find exfoliating or any acids alongside Tret hurts my skin barrier, so it really is different strokes for different folks. No two people have the same skin.

For me, the skin and me percentages of Tret are very low compared to Dermatica but I didn't have any adverse reaction to Tret at all so I might have quite tolerant skin. I had used Medik8 Crystal retinal for a year prior. There's a good fb group for Tret users

Day time:
Cleanser > toner> vit C serum > salicylic serum > eye cream > moisturiser > SPF (preferably 50).

Loads of water, minimise junk food and alcohol.

Night time
Cleanser > toner> vit C serum > salicylic serum > eye cream > moisturiser > (retinol 2-3 times a week gradually building up)

You don't need the expensive brands. I use boots own brand they range between £4-£7.
I do use Cerave moisturiser worth the money.

You could potentially add hyaluronic acid can get it in the serum form if you wanted to add this into your skin care routine.

thank you that is really helpful

Spf every single day rain hail or shine
tretinoin
after that you can add niacinamide, vitamin c, hyaluronic acid and aha/bha chemical exfoliants if you wish. But if nothing else, do the first two 🙂

[InTheShadeOfTheFigTree]

Factor 50 and tretinoin. The cheapest way is to buy online from a European pharmacy if you don't want a subscription.

@GonnaGetGoingReturns

For those who used Tretonin (Retin A) - how do you use it etc?

Not sure I want to do a subscription service with Dermatica.

I thought that too.how can I get started with using tretonin?

[NameChanger567]

@Cotswoldmama

SPF and Skin+me. Use the link to try a month for just 3.50 p&p

www.skinandme.com/?promocode=LAURENS5YP3

I've been using skin+me for two years now and my skin looks amazing even if I do say so myself! I think it's the Tretinoin. I use it daily at night and in the day I just use Garniers vitamin c serum and Ambre solaire SPF 50. I sometimes use Cerave moisturising cream at night too but I have oily skin so usually just use my skin and me doser. The customer care with them has been great and you can stop, delay or pause your subscription at anytime really easily online.

thanks!

Lots of water and limiting my sugar intake works for me.

As does a little help in the way of a small amount of Botox...makes me look much younger and fresher!

[Ravenclawdropout]

This is on top of all the obvious regarding sunscreen, tretinoin etc.

Eat lots of raw veggies and berries especially green leaves and try to keep a steady weight; big increases/decreases in weight can mean the skins loses some elasticity. If you need to lose weight or put on weight do it gradually so you skin can adjust.
Smoking is terrible for the skin (and voice) as is much alcohol

[Lily073]

Tretinion started at about age 20 with high SPF.

[Cotswoldmama]

I think 25 is a good age to start. I started around then with looking after my skin. Prevention is better than cure but also tretinoin has a cumulative effect so I can only imagine if you started now your skin would look amazing as you aged or rather didn't! It is strong as others have said. That's why I really like Skin +Me as it slowly increases in strength.

[blebbleb]

I can't imagine your skin looking that bad at 25 anyway. I guess preventive measures at best which you seem to be doing. Suncream, sleep etc.

Has anyone tried an LED mask . Reviews are good.

[joojitzoo]

Physically avoid the sun if you can not just SPF
Cut out sugar
Dont drink or smoke
Manage stress
go to bed early
exercise

[NameChanger567]

@jewishmum

Don't go jumping straight into tret.

Use retinol to build your skin barrier.

Chemical peel once a week (I use one from the Ordinary)

No physical exfoliation.

Moisturise followed by a face oil at night.

I had no idea using exfoliator would age my skin. I will stop using it

[Booksandwine80]

Be young. The end. 🤣

@Burnamer

Botox and fillers….

I have thought about having those but I am only 25 so I am not sure if I should

[xogossipgirlxo]

@Decidualcast

Water, sleep, hot yoga, genetics. No fags, booze, junk. Simple skincare routine - a good quality oil, moisturiser, exfoliation.

Have been upping the water intake recently. I do have booze occasionally but can go 2-3 weeks without it easily. Have been trying to wean myself off crisps/chocolate which has helped. Never have junk food (McDs) anyway.

My skincare routine has always been good but simple - I don't believe or bother with expensive brands as I don't think they do much!

Genetics is good on my mum's side.
